Mac22 Posted February 17, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) When I picked up my M8 it was paired with 2.8 / 28 Elmarit. Do you think this is a good all rounder... What is your preference... Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jippiejee Posted February 17, 2012 Share #2 Posted February 17, 2012 This is my standard walk-around lens on the M8 and it's a perfect set imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintpot Posted February 17, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2012 Yes - mine too! Then, for me, the next best is a 40mm Summicron C (ex - CL lens) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker Posted February 17, 2012 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2012 Yes - with the M8 the 28 Elmarit got some good use. Since I got the M9 it is neglected in favour of the 35 Summicron! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted February 17, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2012 Used to be my main lens on the M8. Still serves me well on the M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill k Posted February 17, 2012 Share #6 Posted February 17, 2012 Yes, I use it 75% of the time.The other 25% is split between the 24 and 50.Regards,Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted February 18, 2012 Share #8 Posted February 18, 2012 Like other people it's the lens I use most on my M8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 18, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 18, 2012 As i "see" in 50mm i use more often 35mm lenses on the M8.2 but the Elmarit 28/2.8 asph is always in my bag. Great little lens indeed you cannot go wrong with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhanebeck Posted February 18, 2012 Share #10 Posted February 18, 2012 It's a fantastic combination IMHO. I use the 28 Cron and love the results. Also use the 21 Elmarit quite a bit on the M8. However, 80% of my shots are taken with the 28 ... it is the classic M combination and there is really nothing to complain about. Cheers, Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsteb Posted February 19, 2012 Share #11 Posted February 19, 2012 28/2.8 Elmarit is on my M8.2 80% of the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac22 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share #12 Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the replies.. I am recovering from a small op so no chance of getting out. Here's a few pictures in the house, our new Bull Terrier Bella making friends with my old, grumpy Patterdale.... All shot after dark and I'm so surprised at immediate lack of DOF @ 2.8 makes you concentrate on what your actually focusing on. The picture of Bella on sat on her own is heavily cropped, wow very surprised at the results and in poor light.... Seriously impressed with the M8...Please take on board I'm still a learner....

WestMichigan Posted February 20, 2012 Share #13 Posted February 20, 2012 Yes - mine too!Then, for me, the next best is a 40mm Summicron C (ex - CL lens) I would have to chime in that I'm liking the 40 C focal length so far, but my efforts with it have been only preliminary. I also would say that the lens' diminutive size takes some getting used to - especially if one's fingers are big. Once 'sorted' the ergonomics will be quite easy, but my few out-n-abouts with it haven't gotten me there yet. I occassionally grab air in search of the focusing lever which is much closer to the camera than the focus ring of just about every other lens I've ever used. :-) Very Glad I purchased it.
